Small- consequence the receptor protein was renamed the molecule antagonist, CCX832, selectively blocks chemerin receptor in 2013. Since then, chemerin has CMKLR1, and resolvin E1 activation of CMKLR1 is been identified as the endogenous ligand for a second G discussed. Activation of both receptors by chemerin is protein–coupled receptor, encoded by the gene GPR1. via coupling to Gi/o, causing inhibition of adenylyl Therefore, the International Union of Basic and Clinical cyclase and increased Ca2+ flux.

In follow the convention of naming the receptor protein addition, the chemerin receptors have been implicated after the endogenous ligand. Chemerin receptor 1 and in cardiovascular disease, cancer, steroidogenesis, chemerin receptor 2 can be abbreviated to Chemerin1 human immunodeficiency virus replication, and and Chemerin2, respectively. Chemerin requires neurogenerative disease. I.
